One change to recommend if you decide to try it. Instead of flouring your bread pan, grease it and then sprinkle the pan with sugar. It keeps the bread from sticking and keeps the crust tender. I usually cover the bread with a linen towel as soon as I take it out of the oven and then Saran wrap it while it's still a little warm to keep the moisture in.

Yum! I love banana bread! I usually make it around the holidays or for something to take to a pot luck or dinner if I'm needing something last minute. Also, if you have bananas ripening and aren't ready to use them, you can freeze them right in the peel and take them out at later time when you're ready for them. I've done this several times and it works great.

I'll have to try that with the bananas. I went through the Amish Friendship bread phase a couple of years ago, so I really love this recipe because it's almost as good and so much easier. The friendship bread was a lot of fun though. There are so many variations you can make with the starter. I wasn't thinking once and decide to puree blueberries instead of chopping them. The bread tasted great but came out of the oven bright green.
